COLLYER CARVINGS.
COLLIER, April 20, 1887.

Sunshine again.
Flowing interrupted.
Bargains for land buyers.
Tree planting progresses.
Woodpeckers and quails are here.
Another early settler has removed.
Go to Siebert's market for salt and
smoked meats. 4O4
The blue sky draws veil of clouds
over it's face so often of late that sunshine
and glimpse of the heavenly blue are
becoming rarity.
Not being able to secure the hall Fri
day evening-the night of the Corps
party-the theatrical troupe passed us by,
and played at Buffalo Park on Saturday
Mr.. and Mrs. l.. f. Hollington and
Miss K. Mcdonald visited the county
seat on Monday. Miss Med. was the
guest of Mrs. Benedict while in Wa-Kee-
ney.
Money saved and satisfaction guaran-
teed by buying your -four of Hollington
& Son. 43-f
Mrs. Shaw and family arrived from st.
Marys, Kan, Thursday noon. The hus-
band and father had previously estab-
lished home for them near blackberry
creek.
Read and reread the large advertise
ment of Mills & Sons. 1t is cheapest to
buy of enterprising merchants, and such
keep their names before the newspaper
public.
Hollington & Son have just received a
large lot of handsome cook stoves that
will be sold cheap. 414-tf
Wallows and draws are not as full as
one would expect after so much rain; in
fact, the buffalo grass will no longer hold
water above ground, as it did formerly,
but prefers to let it's roots drink and
grow.
Mr.. Mcmillan, of Chicago, came in on
Thursdays train. He was met at the de-
po by d. Webster, who Immediately took
him out home to show him the beauties
of the Saline valley, where he has since
invested in some of its productive land,
and expects soon to be Trego citizen.
Siebert pays the highest market price
Cor hides and furs, and in cash, at the
Collyer meat market. 4O4
This might fttingly be called Arbor
week, as many of our citizens have spent
their time in replanting timber claims or
setting out trees on their homesteads.
w. L. Brown is improving his home in
town by planting many, and the school
yard will soon be beautiied by minia-
ture forest.
Mr.. Phillips, of Nebraska, paid visit
to town Friday. He is stopping with his
relatives, Mr.. and Mrs. Pitcher, of Cove
county. Mr.. Phillips is evidently gen.
tleman who would be pleasant addition
to any community, and it is to be hoped
that he may find for his family home
not far distant from Collyer.
Mrs. B. York's motherly heart is noted
for its abundance of sympathy with any
one in sorrow, and now it has sought and
taken to its shelter one bereft of both pa
rents. Little Inez came from Chicago
last week, and the Carvings believe, not
only to be adopted into the home of her
benefactress, but to receive the kindest of
care.
Once more attention is called to the
condition of the railroad right of way
along Ainslie avenue, where the water
settles after every heavy rain. If our
business men would but make the re-
quest the railroad company would, no
doubt, have the road filed up. The
street at that place is almost impossible
for teams and quite SO for pedestrians.
Miss Grace Burns took the fast train
from Wa-Keeney Thursday morning for
Chicago, where she goes to reside for
time with her aunt and attend school
All acquaintance Of Miss Oracle wish
her pleasant time and safe return to
home and friends when the present OPP
portunity for obtaining an education has
been fully improved.
VIM. Wheeler babe his friends farewell
Friday morning, and took the noon train
Tor Oskaloosa, Kan, whence he expected
TO 90 to Washington Territory, but 1t
seems his plans were changed, as he re-
turned here on Saturday. having only
been to Ellis. He remained here until
Sunday evening, when he left for the
west. Mr.. Wheeler opened the first store
in Collyer, and continued in the mercan-
